I have had many side jobs, but my main gig is Padre. I started professional church work in '73 as a Youth Pastor while in college. First senior pastor position in '79 in San Fernando Valley/LA and now I am part time pastor of a small church in Nipomo, CA. This leaves me time to MD and a few honey do tasks along with some volunteer work. I have certification in Machine Tool & Die making, I have administrated 2 senior housing facilities (7 years) and 3 years as the information specialist at the local Area Agency on Aging. I had my own business fixing computers for 5 years, sold software in the mall for 8.5 years. I was trained and worked for a time doing UPS computer troubleshooting by phone. I am glad you didn't ask what I do at night!

As much of a detecting addict I am, I don't think anyone would argue with the fact that...
That's THE greatest find you can ever make! There's a few others on here who've been brave enough to come forward & mention their sobriety success as well. To all, continued success & blessings

I have many jobs in the past including restaurant, retail, construction, automotive, slaughter house for a brief stint, and a whole crapload of other jobs. Currently a network admin and been doing the computer gig for the last 15 years. Sober around 6 months now after being wasted on one thing or another since about 1985 living the punk rock dream/nightmare. Oi!

Ok, George, I'll kickstart them, since you predicted it
A guy and a girl meet at a bar. They get along so well that they decide to go to the girl's place.
A few drinks later, the guy takes off his shirt and then washes his hands.
He then takes off his pants and washes his hands again.
The girl has been watching him and says, "You must be a dentist!"
The guy, surprised, says "Yes! How did you figure that out?"
"Easy," she replied, "you keep washing your hands."
One thing led to another and they make love.
After they've finished, the girl says, "You must be a good dentist."
The guy, now with a boosted ego says, "The best there is! How did you figure that out?"
She says "I didn't feel a thing!"
